Posted @withregram @laundromat_proj "I am convinced that love is the most durable power in the world. It is not an expression of impractical idealism, but of practical realism." The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., from 'Advice for Living,' a column he wrote for Ebony magazine in 1957. Grateful to Dr. King for this reminder of our commitment to value love. We value love as a radical and essential act of power and protest to create the kind of world we all deserve to live in. #BePropelledByLove #MLKDay [Image description and credit: Black and white candid photo of Dr. King, Coretta Scott King, and their first child, Yolanda, at home in Montgomery, Alabama, 1956.

Posted @withregram @re_birth_style This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the colored people a bad check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is b...ankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
